question on OCAJ SE 8 -1Z0-808

[prerit singh]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum and currently preparing to take the OCAJP SE 8 exam and plan on taking it next month.



I just finished reading the OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808 By: Jeanne Boyarsky; Scott Selikoff
and started looking at topics in OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide (Exam 1Z0-808), 3rd Edition By: Edward Finegan; Robert Liguori, while going though this book i find that that there are some topics that are not present in the book by written By: Jeanne Boyarsky; Scott Selikoff. So i am wondering if they are included in exam or not?

For example : In Exceptions- I do not come across, try with resources , multi-catch clause in OCA: Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide: Exam 1Z0-808 By: Jeanne Boyarsky; Scott Selikoff
but it is present in OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide (Exam 1Z0-808), 3rd Edition By: Edward Finegan; Robert Liguori . So it is included in exam or not?

Multi catch is not on OCAJP 8 exam.
Always check official exam objectives in case of any doubt.

As already mentioned by Paul, multi-catch is not on the OCAJP8 exam (it is one of the exam topics of the OCPJP8 exam). If you have any doubts, you should always check the official exam objectives. In fact, you should check these exam objectives periodically. Although it very rarely happens, Oracle could change the exam objectives. So if you don't want to be unpleasantly surprised, it's a good practice to check the exam objectives a few weeks before you will take the certification exam.

Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
Roel
